Iditate and adopt an excessively low salt diet, exercise regular, if you smoke tobacco now is the time to quit. Babylon medication for blood pressure are life long, the natural way is life changing. Still , how high are we talking? If your in a semi stroke situation then medical advice would be best..... I assume you mean a 'little' blood pressure. Most of the time it's inaccurate anyway. White coat syndrome. Take home measurements instead. And if your of African lineage and choose to use western pharmaceuticals for blood pressure, google search the brand name and look for the drug type: 'ace inhibitors' can do more harm than good for black people. Search: 'hypertension African Americans' for more on that. Haile selassie I Good health

Lots of meditation (calm deep breathing) lowered my blood pressure. Ital is vital, vital is ital. High blood pressure is not vital, remove all that's not ital, increase all itality, and just vitality will remain. Every thought word feeling and action will either raise blood pressure or decrease it. Blessed soul with Jah choose positive vital Conscious choices.

I have no personal experience of high blood pressure but hawthorn is recommended among others, as is parsley. Be careful if you are thinking of combining herbs with prescriptions medicines. Do some research and I would always take a global approach i.e. look at lifestyle, diet, excersize, relaxation and do what you need to do. If you cannot avoid those things or situations that cause the problem, look at your approach to the problem and your reactions, this may help. Jah guide.

I'd just like to add emotional stress / stressful situations / anger etc have no bearing whatsoever on having a 'high blood pressure.' This is a common misconception

True, I have always had low blood pressure, but plenty of stress!

Stress may not be a cause of long term high blood pressure, but they say that it still has a negative effect for people with high blood pressure.
